November '92 Car Audio & Electronics - 1991 Civic Si install
5 Attachment(s)
Found a nice old skool install in a 1991 Civic Si :) Some real quality components used in this install ! :o
The car audio scene back in the late 1980's till mid 1990's was amazing... The cheap made in china stuff that started becoming available in the later 1990's till today really killed the scene ! :twisted: http://www.torontocivics.com/attachm...ine=1310781427 http://www.torontocivics.com/attachm...ine=1310781427 http://www.torontocivics.com/attachm...ine=1310781427 http://www.torontocivics.com/attachm...ine=1310781427 http://www.torontocivics.com/attachm...ine=1310781427 |
I love the old school setups myself. Car Stereo Warehouse did my first car with 4 15's back in 95... all Orion.
Now the scene is a bit hurting and the gear is generally cheap ****. Thanks for sharing though :)] Note.. that looks like an old alpine pull out.. bad ass! |

I am not sure what gear is made in the U.S., but its safe to say most of it is made in China these days. I sold all my newer RF gear and went back to a nice old school Orion setup, it just felt and sounded better imo. Curious, who do you feel is good? I am still content with Kenwood, Clarion, Kicker. I have used Morel and have also liked them. Sourced these hccas on CanadianCarAudio.com and tossed em in my truck. Have 2 2150sx's running 2 Orion 15"s and a Clarion double dinn touch screen. All done by the boys at Selective Sound. http://www.torontocivics.com/attachm...0&d=1310992626 Haha.. Nice, rocking some Journey! Almost made me youtube it for a listen :p Nice try! |
Thise old school Orions are the best 'cheater' amps ever.

I seen one argument on the car audio site about how even the new garbage amps are better than the old school gear. Not sure if I believe that. Robb, do you remember a shop called Car Stereo Warehouse? |

Nope.. doesnt ring a bell.
Where was it located ? Anyhow, they originally built my Orion system which had 4 15's in the back of a Pacifica Daytona. Then they tried to jack it..... but thats another story. Those were the good ole days of car audio. Orion, Phoenix Gold, US Amps, Rodek.... I loved car audio. |

The only problem with these old school amps is that they tend to generate a lot of heat and they are extremely inefficient thus requiring loads of power to run them.
